 Liphart migration to the United States | + |
European migration to North America began in the mid-17th century and continued unabated until the mid-20th. Many Bavarians made the long trip to escape poverty or persecution based on their religious beliefs. The chance for tenant farmers to own their own land was also a major drawing card. They settled all across the United States in Pennsylvania, Texas, New York, Illinois, and California. Many came to Canada also, settling in Ontario and the prairie provinces. Analysis of immigration records has shown some of the first Lipharts to arrive in North America, and among them were:
Liphart Settlers in United States in the 18th Century- Adam Liphart, who settled in Texas in 1727
Liphart Settlers in United States in the 19th Century- John Liphart, who landed in Washington County, Pennsylvania in 1854 1
